Form tips
When holding the dumbbells, make sure your grip is firm but not overly tight. Your palms should be facing towards your body. A common mistake is to grip the dumbbells too tightly, which can lead to wrist strain.
The movement of the front raise should be slow and controlled. Avoid the common mistake of using momentum to lift the weights. This not only reduces the effectiveness of the exercise but also increases the risk of injury.
